ABSTRACT- AIM-The main aim of the present work is to study the hepatoprotective role of Carvacrol in Paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity. MATERIAL & METHODS-Carvacrol was evaluated for their possible hepatoprotective activity by paracetamol induced hepatic damage. Standard drug Silymarin was used as reference compound. For the paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity studies, paracetamol (500mg/kg po) suspension was prepared using 1% gum acacia and was administered to all animals except the animals of the normal control group. Silymarin (100 mg/kg po) was used as standard. The biochemical parameters like SGOT, SGPT, ALP and bilirubin were estimated using respective assay kits according to the methods described. RESULTS- Effect of carvacrol and paracetamol on SGPT level of rats is shown in table. A single dose of paracetamol (500 mg/kg) caused significant elevation in the serum SGPT level when compared to normal group, while on treatment with carvacrol, a significant dose dependent reduction was observed. Paracetamol (500 mg/kg) caused significant elevation in the serum SGOT level when compared to normal group, while on treatment with carvacrol, a significant dose dependent reduction was observed. A single dose of paracetamol (500 mg/kg) caused significant elevation in the serum ALP level when compared to normal group, while on treatment with carvacrol, a significant dose dependent reduction was observed. CONCLUSION- The selected carvacrol are widely employed in various liver disorders in traditional systems of medicine. The present pharmacological evaluation will provide scientific data about the rationale behind their use.
